Hotels in Nozawaonsen

"Great stay at Hotel Takimoto. Had the all inclusive package which included all food, alcohol and snacks. Snacks/soft drinks/beer were available all day. Food was great, varied and presented well in a nice dining setting. Staff were friendly and helpful. Ski/snowboard hire included too. Ski boots and skis were of good quality and newish, however snowboards were not good. Lovely hotel with big fireplace and marshmallows to roast. Great place to relax after a day skiing. We had a family 5 bedroom room which had 2 separate rooms (2 single beds plus 3 tatami mats in another room). Location at Takamagahara was excellent - central to all the ski areas. After some initial issues with our booking, hotel Takimoto came good and we can happily say we had a fabulous stay and can recommend"

"I have never had a bad stay at this hotel. I’ve visited this hotel 3 times since July of 2025. This last stay I had mistakenly hit the button for Single Smoking Room. When I discovered my mistake, the front desk staff quickly sorted me, and didn’t charge extra for a double room Non Smoking! The restaurants here are also delicious!"

"The private onsen in our room was highlight of our stay. Staff was the best, everyone were helpful and efficient. There is a free shuttle to the snow monkey park. "

"The staff were very hospitable, and the food was delicious."

"The view of the slopes was fantastic. The room was adequately spacious. We love that each room had lockers for our ski gear. Of course, the best part of this hotel is that you can just walk out of the hotel straight to the ski lifts. Outside of skiing, it's convenient that we can just walk around the massive building complex to shop or eat. "

"This deserves much more than an 8.4 rating. We had one of the best ski stays ever at the Arai and we’ve stayed at Chamonix, Aspen, Jackson Hole, and Big Sky. The hospitality and food was amazing with some of the best service possible. The price was so much more reasonable than any other US destination. Thank you Lotte Arai."

"Beautiful resort in the mountains right next to the ski slopes"

"The accommodation was truly outstanding. The attention to detail in the design of the apartments and in house facilities were exceptional however the reception staff lacked basic training and knowledge which was disappointing. "
